Ferreyra, Maria Marta; Galindo, Camila; Urzúa, Sergio S. – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2022
This paper estimates the heterogeneous labor market effects of enrolling in higher education short-cycle (SC) programs.

Alisha Bazemore – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The employability of liberal arts versus specialized degree-holders is a significant concern in a technology-driven labor market. As a result of the specialized market, there has been an immediate demand for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) or STEM-related degree-holders. However, the demand for STEM-related skills also…

Lavender, Kate – International Journal of Training Research, 2020
Understanding the role of higher education in a system of high participation is becoming more important to providers and policymakers internationally. In this system, whereby increasingly higher education is taking place in vocational institutions, there has been renewed focus on the distinct nature of this provision, and the benefits it may hold…

Friday May 8, 2020 saw the release of the most disastrous monthly jobs report in American economic history. In this piece, the authors try to examine three issues for higher education institutions and students in New England.

Fogg, Neeta P.; Harrington, Paul E. – New England Journal of Higher Education, 2020
Labor market impacts of COVID-19 shutdowns have been very unequal across industries, occupations and levels of educational attainment. Job losses in the month since the beginning of the shutdowns (between mid-March and mid-April) were concentrated in industries that primarily employ individuals with lower levels of education--industries such as…

This paper presents one of the first cross-nationally comparative studies on the economic and social returns to grit (perseverance and passion for long-term goals). Specifically, we investigated whether grit incrementally predicted objective (income) and subjective (job satisfaction) career success over and above cognitive skills and educational…

Benda, Luc; Koster, Ferry; van der Veen, Romke – Studies in Continuing Education, 2020
Most active labour market policy (ALMP) research investigates potential socioeconomic consequences such as unemployment risks and earning potential but too often neglects potential cultural effects. When approaching ALMP research based on institutional and socialisation theory, researchers would expect that people internalise cultural and…

Valiente, Oscar; Zancajo, Adrián; Jacovkis, Judith – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2020
The importance of skill formation for young people and the challenges of youth unemployment and underemployment are at the forefront of global development agendas.

Barrett, Nathan; Carlson, Deven; Harris, Douglas N.; Lincove, Jane Arnold – Grantee Submission, 2020
Theories of market-based school reform suggest that teacher labor markets may be inefficient, and perhaps inequitable, because union contracts, tenure protections, and government regulation limit school autonomy over hiring, evaluation, compensation, and working conditions. In a less restrictive setting, schools could incentivize performance by…

Amanda Alicia Mireles – ProQuest LLC, 2020
This dissertation investigates how the status and value of the college degree as a credential are constructed and evaluated in response to the changing social demographic compositions of colleges and universities. A large body of scholarship shows that occupations with a higher proportion of women have lower average rewards for both women and…

Broberg, Åsa; Lindberg, Viveca; Wärvik, Gun-Britt – Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2021
This article argues that women's vocational education needs to be viewed in relation to the development of vocational education and training (VET) more broadly. The history of women's VET is also a history of the term "women's education" itself and how, almost a century after it was introduced, this term is hardly used. Instead, we see…

Jjuuko, Robert; Tukundane, Cuthbert; Zeelen, Jacques – International Journal of Training and Development, 2021
Amidst the global pressure on education systems to harness youth employability and transition to the world of work, there is increased interest in vocational placements. It is evident that Uganda's tertiary education sector, like others in similar context, is struggling to optimise vocational placements for better students' learning and labour…

Niyadurupola, Verena; Esposito, Lucio – Journal of Education and Work, 2021
Activation policies are widely adopted to encourage labour market participation of unemployed youth, and yet they are poorly understood and monitored with regard to the causal mechanisms unfolding through their implementation. Activation schemes are often based on the carrot-and-stick logic informed by microeconomic job search theory, but…
